What is Drug Rehabilitation?

• Drug rehabilitation is a term for the processes of medical or psychotherapeutic treatment, for dependency on psychoactive substances such as alcohol, prescription drugs, and street drugs such as cocaine, heroine or amphetamines.

What is the treatment of Drug Abuse?

• Detoxification is the most common form of drug treatment. This is a process of eliminating a person’s dependence on drugs.

• Part of the detoxification process is to decrease the daily dose of drugs that the dependent person takes and thus gradually reduce withdrawal symptoms.

• Another method of dealing with drug dependents is to form a support group of fellow drug dependents. They share their experiences and learn from one another. Together, they recover from their dependence and get better.

Responsible Decision Making

1. Set a good example. When you are using prescription drugs, examine their uses and know their possible side effects. An individual must be prepared for an honest discussion about his or her attitudes to both legal and illegal drugs.

2. Have a clear understanding of how drugs can interfere with physical and emotional development.

3. Learn to abide by what the school teaches about drugs.

Page 17: Rehabilitation of drug dependents

4. Before going to any party, gently inquire from the organizers about the anti-drug abuse measures set up for the party. Explain that the inquiry is intended to simply ensure that no untoward incident would happen. An individual should not attend the party unless he/she receives a satisfactory reply.

5. Have trustworthy adults to turn to as well-parents, teachers, relatives or counselors. They can give the best ammunition to resist peer pressure and the dangers of taking drugs.

Page 18: Rehabilitation of drug dependents

6. An individual should join spiritual activities in his/her community. This will enhance his/her understanding regarding the purpose of living.

7. Channel one’s energy toward sports and other productive activities.

8. Develop close family ties. Having a strong moral foundation and establishing trusting relationships among family members help an individual express his/her feelings.

9. An individual should choose his/her friends.10. An individual should not start nor trying prohibited drugs.
